The struggle Podcast EP7 - Confessions of a Jewish Cult buster with Rabbi Shea Hecht -

Rabbi Shea Hecht, a renowned cult buster and author of Confessions of a Jewish Cultbuster, has spent decades rescuing Jewish youth from manipulative cults. His book—first published in 1985 and recently updated—shares gripping deprogramming stories and exposes tactics of groups like missionaries and modern cults, offering tools to combat them. Born to Rabbi Jacob J. Hecht and Rebbetzin Chave Hecht, he transformed the Jewish response to cults in the 1970s and 80s. A leader in counseling and chairman of the NCFJE, he also fostered harmony during the 1991 Crown Heights riots. His work remains vital for understanding cults and protecting faith.
